Footnotes

  1. 18 Heb “my days [are] like an extended [or “lengthening”] shadow,” that is, like a late afternoon shadow made by the descending sun that will soon be swallowed up by complete darkness.
  2. 19 Heb “sit” (i.e., sit enthroned, see Ps 9:7). The imperfect verbal form highlights the generalization.
  3. 20 Heb “and your remembrance [is] for a generation and a generation.”
